I really don't know why D Gully Buttress only gets one star as it's brilliant.. Here's a bit of video after we climbed Hell's Wall - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/adiKd9Windqshps.html - which is definitely Severe!

It really is a very special place.

That route is affectionately known as the Bealach Bawbag route, its a dissapointing slog up to the Bealach and and quite a crappy descent to the Loch and a bogfest alongside it. Much better loop from the chapel at the estate house and and follow the shore of Loch Ericht to Ben Alder Cottage and up to the Bealach Dubh.

Big miles done there, I've done some sections, but not that sizeable loop...excellent video 😊

Thank you so much. It is very easy doing the miles. It is very easy to get distracted and forget your STILL pedalling up hill lol.

Did this in the snow and honestly thought was going to die 😂 first mountain climb. Took us 5 hours to get to the summit. 9.5 to get back to the car

You pick some amazing routes. There can’t have been many that have trod before you. Whilst it didn’t look super technical it certainly looked as if it was greasy and in that sense way more of a challenge. What a little gem. Thanks for sharing.

Looks to have been stormy up there before you visited. Looks like you were cycling at an angle at times along the forest track.

@nickrails 8 ай бұрын

Bloody hell, fair play to you both, the exposure on the crux was severe and that slip was scary AF. Takes composure and courage to immediately just crack on after that. I would have definitely taken you up on your offer of roping up.....as a mid level scrambler theres no way I would dare to attempt that without protection. Awesome weather you had as well! Great vid. (Cant help but feel if you titled it 'Close call on Ben Nevis' or some other such clickbaity title you'd get an extra 50k views)

@ianshaw6112 8 ай бұрын

You might be right. Yeh Olivier is a pretty cool customer. He would never have slipped if he wasn't trying to rush. My advice to all is, stay cool never rush it. Also never go up anything you don't think you can get down from, if your not using ropes. We practice down climbing at our local wall all the time.

@RossFinnie 8 ай бұрын

Always wondered what the crossing from the Bealach Dubh to Loch Ossian would be like... and now I know, you rode it so I don't have to, cheers! Do you reckon there's any value in riding this route in the opposite direction and taking the push as an uphill slog to get that nice descent on the other side?

@ianshaw6112 8 ай бұрын

100%, definitely. Id say the descent to the bothy will be absolutely amazing.

@nickrails 8 ай бұрын

Bloody hell that section from 08:58 isnt messing around, proper G3! Was thinking of looking up this route until I saw that section lol. Great video!

@ianshaw6112 8 ай бұрын

Get someone to take you out on it. its maybe not as bad as you think. the rock is fantastic, really really grippy. You should give it a try if you have a friend to go with that is maybe a little more capable. I don't think you'll regret it.

Great video, looks like a good route. Really enjoying your vids working through the Glen Coe scrambles. Have you any plans to try No3 Buttress on nam Beith? One thats caught my interest but i dont know anyone whos done it. Anyways, great content lads.

No, I haven't looked at it yet. maybe we'll look into that next year. Do you know what grade it is?

Awrite there crackin vid, stob coire nan lochan my fave mountain I always ascend the ridge up.. Top of the nan lochan trail then left or western ridge up to the summit bk down the eastern crest to the bealach . Looking at these gullies I fancy upping it a bit.. Would u recommend dorsal arete or summit buttress to start off.. Cheers

This video answered my fears! Didn't think it would be easy getting between paths over the pass and you confirmed it You can do a different loop if you head to Ben Alder cottage and climb back up Bealach Breabag but it's a rough climb. The decent from the lochan back towards Culra bothy is lovely though.

Yeah Kintail is a fabulous area, quite a few scrambles and ridges to do there too. That's the 2nd time along that ridge. I'd like to do it again in perfect low light conditions.
